Rhythm is the fundamental pulse that animates poetry, music, and
dance across all cultures. And yet the recent explosion of
scholarly interest across disciplines in the aural dimensions of
aesthetic experience-particularly in sociology, cultural and media
theory, and literary studies-has yet to explore this fundamental
category. This book furthers the discussion of rhythm beyond the
discrete conceptual domains and technical vocabularies of
musicology and prosody. With original essays by philosophers,
psychologists, musicians, literary theorists, and
ethno-musicologists, The Philosophy of Rhythm opens up wider-and
plural-perspectives, examining formal affinities between the
historically interconnected fields of music, dance, and poetry,
while addressing key concepts such as embodiment, movement, pulse,
and performance. Volume editors Peter Cheyne, Andy Hamilton, and
Max Paddison bring together a range of key questions: What is the
distinction between rhythm and pulse? What is the relationship
between everyday embodied experience, and the specific experience
of music, dance, and poetry? Can aesthetics offer an understanding
of rhythm that helps inform our responses to visual and other arts,
as well as music, dance, and poetry? And, what is the relation
between psychological conceptions of entrainment, and the humane
concept of rhythm and meter? Overall, The Philosophy of Rhythm
appeals across disciplinary boundaries, providing a unique overview
of a neglected aspect of aesthetic experience.
